| − | === History ===
| |
| − | ==== Helegu vs Telehetti ====
| |
| − | After enduring 10 years of Helegu expeditionary forces making deep incursions, the western mamba plain was decimated by a huge (50,000 Helegu + 100,000 ancillaries) Helegu lead army 135 years prior to the fall of the last Khaganate. For 5 years the Helegu lead army rampaged across the Erensari destroying farms and villages but were unable to draw Telehetti warriors into a pitched battle.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Telehetti turned away the great herds and burnt crops to deny the Helegu food, dammed rivers to slow the invaders, abandoned poorly defensible areas, melted away before the invader, engaged in an endless guerilla war campaign and summoned the dark forces of the land to drain the will of the invaders.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Lead by the Telehetti Champion Dogon the Star Holder, a small force of Erensari cut off the Helegu’s army leadership and slaughtered them. Foremost among them Mengu-Timur Khaganate, the ruler of the United Helegu Confederation. His killing struck the deathblow for the demoralised army which returned to the horse clan homelands.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Under the Roaring Host the Helegu continued to conduct raids into the Erensari for almost a century. Learning how best to strike at the Helegu from success and defeat , the Telehetti became expert in frustrating the long-term Helegu ambition in their homeland.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 20 years ago a force of 15,000 Helegu and 35,000 ancillary forces were lured deep into the southern Mamba Plains where they were annihilated in less than a day. Seemingly vanished without a trace, they are now known as as Jayaatu’s lost army and are now the stuff of legend.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There have been numerous ‘unsanctioned’ raids by both sides since the comprehensive beating down of the Helegu in the past 20 years but nothing that would suggest full scale war is inevitable.

| − | | |
| − | ==== Carkade ====
| |
| − | ::'''Ancient and fallen empire'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Carkade crumbled as a civilisation so long ago (6,000 years ago) even the elves remember them only as a name and from their ruins, scattered across the world.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Elite of Carkade were a race of beings whose culture at its height had an obsession with death and sacrifice. The Gods and Goddesses of Death and Destruction were elevated, feared, revered and worshipped during their reign.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Carkade had a strong tradition of seeking out the forbidden and unknown including contacting powerful beings in the cosmos in an eternal search for power and glory (including making pacts, providing service, learning from, allying and alternately opposing).
| |
| − | | |
| − | The elder being [[Ammutseba]] was one such being that one Carkade faction was in thrall to and created a widespread cult dedicated to it. Contact with Ammutseba was one reason some Carkade magicians were so powerful in necromantic magic.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Cruel subjugation, enslavement and mass sacrifice were the fate of most Carkade foes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Huge step pyramids were the architectural centres of Carkade religious and sacrificial life.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ::'''Contact with the Alin'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | An elder race Carkade had contact with were the [[Alin]]. Some of powerful among the [[Alin]] elite became “the Patrons” of some Carkade factions. This introduced the Horned God (and others) to the world of Faerun and Ammutseba (and others) to the Alin. Terror and death across worlds followed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | An arrogant race, Carkade were ultimately brought low when caught up in a conflict between their Alin patrons and a swathe of their Alin patrons enemies.
| |
| − | | |
| − | War, death and destruction on a colossal scale quickly found the Carkade homelands bringing about what appeared to be utter destruction.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ::'''Mummies of Carkade'''
| |
| − | Faced with an existential crisis the elite who were secret members of the Cult of Ammutseba made a pact with that elder being. While the rest of their race, lands, cities and culture were immolated, the elite and important servants were saved from oblivion with the gift of immortality. They were turned into undead - the mummies of Carkade created from the elite, lesser undead from the servants and shades & shadows from the slaves.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The King and Queen became immensely powerful Mummy Royalty, the inner-circle of prominent and powerful nobles became Mummy Lords, other nobility became Mummy Nobles while servants and some others were transformed into normal mummies and other undead of varying stability.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Put into stasis deep beneath the ruins of their great houses and then set adrift in the timevoid (the cracks between space and time), the Mummies of Carkade are awaiting a summons from the elder being (Ammutseba) that created them.
| |
| | | | |
| − | ::'''In game'''

| − | [[Houtl-het]] is a Mummy Noble

| | + | There are over 31 known [[Constellations|constellations]]. |
| | | | |
| − | A Vision, one of the great undead that dwelt in the dark of the sacrificial chamber in Houtl-het's temple exposed Ophion and [[Heian]] to visions of ancient Carkade, complete with pyramids of corpses, the skies alight with towering flames and death rapidly approaching from beyond. | + | ===Discontinuance Events=== |
| | + | A [[Discontinuance Events|discontinuance]] occurs when parts of a plane that were previously connected to another part of a plane are no longer connected; or when different planes become no longer connected. Discontinuance events come in both major and minor forms and cause disruptions to the planes of existence |

| − | ==== The Alin ==== | + | == History == |
| − | ::'''Overview'''
| |
| − | The Alin were a powerful mortal elder race that dwelt on distant worlds. Some were so powerful they *did something interesting* and became patrons to some of the Carkade elite. These ascended allowed a chosen few into their ancient mysteries and by extension thrall. The Alin were said to be to shuffle reality like a deck of cards (transformation and summoning) while the Carkade were unsurpassed in necromantic power.
| |

There was a trace of colour around the edges of the face (white), top corners (black) and in the aura (yellow). | + | A powerful continent spanning ancient civilisation who emerged from the western continent tens of thousands of years ago. The Carkade vanished after a protracted and viscous conflict lasting more than 1,000 years. |

| |
| − | ::'''Overview'''
| |
| | | | |
| − | A powerful confederation of nomadic tribes that were united under a great leader Khagan Temir 300 years ago. Over the next 200 years the Helegu consolidated a huge inland khaganate obliterating and subjugating many civilisations and tribes, both human and non-human. Tens of millions million were killed during these years.
| + | === [[Chalk Tablelands]] === |
| | | | |
| − | The Khaganate stretched from the cold steppes in the north, then south across grasslands, plains, deserts to the tropical savanna. It is often referred to by the Helegu as the “Land under the Eternal Blue Sky”.
| + | A high altitude plateau sitting between the Erensari and thousands kilometres long Rakis Rift. |
| | | | |
| − | Upon the death of Mengu-Timur Khagan on the Erensari Plains 135 years ago the confederacy broke up due to internal divisions, ongoing insurgencies, constant rebellion and a series of rolling coups. After 50 years of bloody chaos five great hosts emerged 80 years ago to rule a collective khaganate reduced in size:

| − | ==== The Treonol Autocracy ====
| |
| − | ::'''Overview'''
| |
| | | | |
| − | Ruled by Autocrat Maro Kush Nefor - appointed by the Mughal 10 years ago. Vicious and cunning, the Autocrat expands his own wealth and power at the expense of his own people while playing a dangerous game to keep the Helegu from interfering too directly.
| + | === [[Stone Giants]] === |
| | | | |

The edge of the plateau is a further 50 miles to the east. | + | The Telehetti people dwell on the vast grasslands and plains of the Erensari, stretching over more than a thousand miles from end to end. |
| | | | |
| − | ::'''Geography'''
| + | === [[Teyrin Elves]] === |
| − | The nation exists on a plateau with hills to the west and east, mountains to the south and the Brass Desert to the north. It is dry and hot in summer, cool and wet in the brief winter. Thousands of years ago it was incredibly wet and lush and still maintains some remnant forests and deep lakes which are seemingly bottomless.
| |
| | | | |
| − | The eastern part of Treonol is largely borderlands and wilderness with towns strung out along the old caravan routes, which are now being turned into the fortified roads. Before the Helegu invasions the east was more heavily populated and the Treonol in constant conflict with Jayak tribes.
| + | Covered in blue tattoos, the Teyrin are a wide ranging and hidden kingdom of elves that stretch across much of the Western Continent. |
| | | | |
| − | Orcs once roamed the fringes of Treonol in the more rugged and forested parts, while hill giants remain common and constant problem. A few stone giants have made their way north in recent years and occasionally other humanoids such as gnolls and trolls will migrate through. Dwarves fought alongside the Treonol 130 years ago but have bunkered down in their underground fortresses, never having made a formal peace deal with the Helegu, though they seem prepared to wait out this current human empire.
| + | === [[Treonol Autocracy]] === |
| | | | |
| − | Being built on the ruins and waste of so many former kingdoms and having recently been subject to so much bloodshed, hauntings and undead are not uncommon.
| + | The Treonol Autocracy is a client state of the Roaring Host (Tocave Khan) that sits at the northern interior border with Erensari. |
| | | | |
| − | ::'''Population'''
| + | == Arcane == |
| − | The population of Treonol is 2.5 million humans, which is significantly less than the population from 130 years ago. They are a largely rural nation with people living in small villages and towns as Indebted on the extensive estates of the Grand Merchants.
| + | ===Magical Items=== |

| + | '''Chaos Cannon (Wererat Horned God Cult)''' |
| − | Undebted and free Treonol citizens live in constant fear of becoming an Indebted to one of the Grand Merchants. Travel is restricted by the Autocrat’s court and only the Grand Merchants may travel freely without the need for permission. Even general traders need permission to cross territories and permission to leave is rarely granted to free citizens and never to the Indebted.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Banditry is a problem outside of the Citadel. Often times non-human join human bandits in their endeavours
| + | Rare magic item (requires attunement) |

| + | '''Staff of Feywild''' |
| | | | |
| − | Before the Helegu the Treonol alternately fought and traded with the Gimu Steppe Warriors, Jayak tribes , dwarves, humanoids and previous dynasties of Semudan. Interaction with Orcs and dwarves of the western hills was frequent, though the Orcs have now retreated to distant strongholds and dwarves make infrequent contact at trading posts.
| + | Rare magic item (requires attunement) |
| | | | |
| − | The Argos Kingdom ruled this area more than 500 years ago, falling after a series of succession wars (the last of which was orchestrated by Death Cults) and pressure from waves of humanoids being driven east and south by steppe nomads. The western part of Argos overlapped with eastern Treonol.
| + | '''[[Staff of Shadowfel]]''' |
| | | | |
| − | Treonol has been a client state to the Helegu for the last 150 years. Over 1 million Treonoli were killed in the initial Helegu invasion and all cities were razed except for the Citadel which remain unconquered. The Helegu have fought several Treonoli rebellions since the breakup of the great khanate 130 years ago which killed and enslaved at least a further half million Treonol. For the past 50 years the Treonol elite have thrown in their lot with the Helegu and actively suppressed any idea of rebellion among the populace.
| + | Rare magic item (requires attunement) |
| | | | |
